Dye Sublimation

Sublimation Printing

While the name might make the process seem complicated and techy, it’s actually

quite simple to understand.

Sublimation definition: when a solid material turns into a gas without going
through a liquid stage.

This means that the artwork is transferred to an object in a gas state by using a
high temperature heat press during the dye sublimation printing process. It differs

from traditional printing methods because it bypasses the liquid step. There are
no inks drying to the printed object.

How It Works

The image is first infused onto the source printing paper, leaving little mess and
making the whole process quick and easy for dye sublimation printing. Heat is
then utilized to transfer the image from the sublimation paper to an object.

Businesses and home designers use this style of printing when creating graphics
on clothing, as well as signage, home decorations, company exhibits, and
personal items such as coasters, coffee mugs, and keyrings.

Benefits of Sublimation Printing

This is very important for using with items that will be used constantly

over time. Everyday items like mouse pads, kitchenware, and custom
all over print shirts will benefit from this type of printing. This is

especially true with apparel and bedding, as they can be washed on a
regular basis without fear of distorting their appearance.

As mentioned before, dye sublimation can be done on much more than
fabrics, which is the restriction of just heat transfer printing. If one

really wants to get creative with what they want to print on, such as
creating puzzles or personalized keychains, dye sublimation is the main
option to choose. It leaves countless printing opportunities that come

in handy for crafting and business presentations where customization

is a bonus.
